As 2020 draws to a close, so does this first volume of Mathematics Teacher: "Learning and Teaching PK-12" ("MTLT"). Ascribing to a digital-first philosophy, the articles comprising this first volume included digital assets such as classroom videos, author introductions, and digital applications (e.g., Desmos apps) and addressed…

The fictitious online retailer "Elbe" faces a deterministic demand for products over a geographic area and fulfills this demand using supply nodes and fulfillment centers. Experiential learning using provided solver and ILOG models (available upon request from the authors) for this supply chain allows students to experiment with…

With the wide spread large-scale e-learning environments such as MOOCs, peer assessment has been popularly used to measure the learner ability. When the number of learners increases, peer assessment is often conducted by dividing learners into multiple groups to reduce the learner's assessment workload. However, in such cases, the peer assessment…

In this practitioner article, we describe the innovative way the 5E Instructional Model was used in an online, hybrid special education undergraduate course to prepare pre-service teachers to teach academic content to their students with disabilities. We provide a rationale for the use of the model in the course, describe how we implemented the…

The work presented in this paper examines part of a broader issue in the field of technology-enhanced learning and focused on Massive Open Online Courses environments (MOOC). The main goal is to provide an approach, models and tools to assist teachers in the scenario design process and the operationalization of pedagogical scenarios in a…

Learning curves are an important tool in cognitive diagnostics modeling to help assess how well students acquire new skills, and to refine and improve knowledge component models. Learning curves are typically obtained from a model estimated on real data obtained from a finite, and usually limited, sample of students. As a consequence, there is…

Supervised machine learning has become one of the most important methods for developing educational and intelligent tutoring software; it is the backbone of many educational data mining methods for estimating knowledge, emotion, and other aspects of learning. Hence, in order to ensure optimal utilization of computing resources and effective…

This study's primary aim is to validate a research instrument in Iraqi Kurdistan middle and secondary schools to explore learners' perspectives concerning social constructivist learning environments and e-learning outcomes. The research instrument was updated and devised based on Aldridge, Fraser, Taylor, and Chen's (Aldridge et al., International…

Finite Mathematics has become an enormously rich and productive area of contemporary mathematical biology. Fortunately, educators have developed educational modules based upon many of the models that have used Finite Mathematics in mathematical biology research. A sufficient variety of computer modules that employ graph theory (phylogenetic trees,…

This study examined students' genetics learning in a game-based environment by exploring the connections between the expectancy-value theory of achievement motivation and flow theory. A total of 394 secondary school students were recruited and learned genetics concepts through interacting with a game-based learning environment. We measured their…

With the increasing adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in colleges and universities, research in exploring the interaction data captured by these systems is promising in developing a better learning environment and improving teaching practice. Most of these research efforts focused on course-level variables to predict student…

Supply chain management students are introduced to a variety of modeling concepts. Yet learning facility location and capacity allocation modeling to the level of application and mastery proves difficult for the typical undergraduate business student. Spreadsheets facilitate the teaching of optimization modeling; however, providing feedback to…

Classroom discussions are regarded by both practitioners and researchers as an essential pedagogical practice for fostering students' high-level comprehension of text yet cultivating a dialogic classroom culture conducive to supporting students' productive talk can be a delicate undertaking. In this article, using a series of transcripts from one…

The application of learning analytics (LA) to research and practice in higher education is expanding. Researchers and practitioners are using LA to provide an evidentiary basis across higher education to investigate student learning, to drive institutional quality improvement strategies, to determine at-risk behaviours and develop intervention…

The objectives of this research were 1) to synthesize the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling; 2) to establish the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling; 3) to evaluate the model of early childhood Imagineering for developing digital storytelling. The research methodology…
